ONE: Brooks's letter to Leitch Ritchie: 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. He thanks him for his 'kind and courteous communication', and is pleased that 'the article I sent seems to you adapted to the purpose'. Brooks has, he explains, 'availed myself of your suggestions in reference to the additions'. He continues with references to Vauxhall and 'The Highland Lamp'. 'I need hardly say, however, that I trust you will, by excision or any other process, render this, or any other article of mine you may accept, what is most desirable in a business point of view - a few years of managing and being managed teaches one that, after all, that is the point, though before attaining that piece of prosaic wisdom ones vanity gets fearfully scraped.'

Advertisement leaf, with specimen pages, for 'Thorley's Illustrated Farmers Almanack' tipped in at rear.
